Twofer

The Butterfly Challenge this fortnight is up to the letter 'I', with the card shape being 'Impossible Card'.  I haven't made this style of card for a while, so when I was in our caravan in North Devon a few days ago, I decided to make one to join in the challenge.   As my card had lots of flowers, I thought I'd make a second card so I could join in the Twofer Challenge. The theme of the Twofer Challenge this month is 'Garden' - two cards, for two different occasions, with two different designs, using the same stamp, die or stencil. (As I didn't have any flower dies with me in the caravan, I checked the rules for the Twofer Challenge that a punch can be used instead of a die.)  

I am joining in the Twofer Card Challenge #18 with this pair of cards.


I started with a 6" x 6" piece of white card so the Spellbinders scalloped circle die cut would fit.  Instructions for making Impossible Cards can be found on the Butterfly Challenge blog HERE. The butterfly is a new purchase, a Simply Creative 'Butterfly' die.  I haven't seen this range of dies before, but at only £1 it was certainly a bargain.  The patterned paper is from a old paper pad that I think came with a magazine.  I embossed the lilac card with a Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' e/f. The sentiment is from a Papermania set of stamps, stamped with Versafine 'Onyx Black'.   I finished off card with two punched flowers with white pearl centres.

The is a side view of the card.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:



My second card uses the same flower punch.  I made the panel with a Memory Box 'Ringo Tile' die.  I added five lilac punched flowers with black pearl centres.  The sentiment is from the Happy Little Stampers 'Dandelion Wishes' set of stamps, stamped with Versafine 'Onyx Black'.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

  8. Two beautiful Twofers Liz and love the use of the sweet little punched flowers on both. The impossible card is such an interesting shape and the flowery paper and central die cut butterfly are so pretty, then the die cut panel on the second looks great with the little flowers on top, such a wonderful idea, and both super designs. I hope you have been enjoying time spent at the caravan too. x

  18. Hi Liz,
    2 wonderful Twofer designs and also completing the Butterfly challenge as well.
    Love the paper on the impossible card and that super gorgeous Butterfly die cut.
    The CAS looking one is also beautifully created and super work considering you only had a limited amount of crafting goodies in the caravan.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
